Question

Resolution difference on connecting to projector

When we connect our laptops to a projector and switch to presentation view, our resolution on our screen drops and messes up our desktop.

For instance, my resolution is 1280 x 800. As I connect to a projector, my resolution drops to 1024 x 768 (max) to match the display on the projector.

My question is: is it possible to keep the resolution on my screen, while having a different resolution on the projector? Whether its a clone view or dual screen. Or shut off my LCD screen and not change the resolution or something, so that my icons and stuff don't get rearranged?
